 - **ENGLISH ONLY**: Interfaces, code, variables, and docs MUST be in English. Translate any Romanian text found in code immediately. (User conversation: Romanian/English).
- **GIT PROTOCOL**: Use binary path in `.git_path` for all operations. Never push or use `--force` unless asked. Branching: `master` (stable), `dev` (active), `vX` (archive).
+- **GIT PROTOCOL**: Use the direct binary path in `.git_path` (`/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git`) for ALL Git operations. **DO NOT REMOVE OR CHANGE THIS PATH UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!** Never push or use `--force` unless explicitly asked. Branching: `master` (stable), `dev` (active), `vX` (archive).
 - **VERSIONING**: Update `VERSION.json` on every commit. Use `scripts/save_version.py` for automated releases.
 - **DEPENDENCIES**: Update `backend/requirements.txt` with version constraints for every new pip package.
 - **SSOT INTEGRITY**: Every feature change MUST update: `README.md`, `USER_GUIDE.md`, `PROJECT_ARCHITECTURE.md`, and `export_prod.sh`.

- **`save-version`**: 1. Increment `VERSION.json`. 2. Git add/commit (`Build [vX.Y.Z]`). 3. Create branch `vX.Y.Z`. 4. Run `./export_prod.sh`. (Always use `python3 scripts/save_version.py`).

 ### 4.1 AI Usage Policy
 - **Routine Operations (Check-in/Out):** Executes entirely on the local device unconditionally using `html5-qrcode` ($0 cost). No AI is allowed here.
 - **New Item Onboarding (AI Label OCR):** Uses cloud AI (`gemini-2.0-flash`). The user takes a photo, AI extracts data based on strict templates.
+- **AI Box Discovery Mode (v1.6.0):** Supports specialized `mode="box"` prompt that focuses exclusively on prominent container names/hand-written labels, ignoring technical spec noise.
 - **Validation Mask:** AI-extracted data is NEVER saved directly. It is presented in a validation UI for human confirmation.

  - Noise Filtering: Ignores `< 3` chars, decimals, and dates.
  - Scoring: Exact S/N (+500), Exact P/N (+200), Token match (+50), Category match (+20).
  - Threshold: Minimum **40 points** for auto-match without user intervention.
+- **Targeted Field Scanning (v1.6.0):** UI allows "locking" the scanner focus to a specific input field (e.g., `box_label`). The OCR result is then redirected to state without performing regular item lookup.

 ### 7.3 Data Privacy
 - **Information Scrubbing:** Backend logs are configured to intercept and mask sensitive auth tokens or internal secrets (e.g., `JWT_SECRET_KEY`) during debug output.
 - **Direct Bind LDAP:** Authentication uses direct user binding to the LDAP server, avoiding the need for a privileged service account with broad search permissions.
+- **Cryptographic Credential Caching:** To support offline operations, the system caches a **PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 hash** of the user's Enterprise credentials upon successful online login. Plain text passwords are NEVER stored.

 ### 7.4 PWA Trust & Security
 - **HTTPS Enforcement:** The system requires TLS (Port 3003) for camera access and secure token transmission.
 - **Manifest Integrity:** A comprehensive `manifest.json` ensures the app is recognized as a trusted PWA on mobile platforms (iOS/Android).
+7.5 Git Infrastructure Hardening (v1.7.0)
+To ensure deployment stability on macOS environments with potentially broken developer tool links (`xcode-select` errors):
+- **Direct Binary Mapping:** The system bypasses path resolution by using a hardcoded direct link to the Git binary in `.git_path` (`/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git`).
+- **Persistence Mandate:** This path is protected by mandatory AI rules and must never be removed or modified to ensure `save-version` and automated deployment scripts remain functional.

- If the box contains **one type of item**, the application takes you directly to the stock adjustment screen.

+- **Targeted Field Scanning**: In the **Edit Item** modal, tap the small **Camera icon** next to the "Box / Container Label" field. The scanner will capture the next physical label directly into the text field.
+- **Automatic Matching**: In the main scanner, scanning a box identifies all its contents. Scanning a box and then an item will suggest linking them together if they aren't already matched.

-### 4. UI/UX Excellence
- **Search Integration** — Integrated `box_label` into the global search filter.
- **Onboarding Support** — Added Box Label association to the AI-powered onboarding workflow with smart `datalist` suggestions.
- **Visual Polish** — Applied Lucide `Package` iconography and consistent branding to the new modules.
+### 4. UI/UX: Targeted Field Scanning
+- **Camera Capture** — Added a dedicated scan button in Edit modals that redirects OCR results directly to the "Box Label" field without performing general item matches.

+### 5. Multi-Mode AI Discovery
+- **Contextual Prompts** — Implemented a dual-mode toggle (Item/Box) in the AI Onboarding screen.
+- **Box Extraction** — Created a specialized prompt for Gemini 2.0 Flash to extract container names while filtering out technical noise from product labels.
+
+### 6. Operational Rigor: Step 0 Rule
+- **Mandatory Documentation** — Updated `AI_RULES.md` to force documentation verification before any `save-version` (git commit) operation.
+- **Master Branch Sync** — Confirmed `scripts/save_version.py` logic to keep `master` branch in sync with the latest releases automatically.
